 I have not been successful in excluding .htaccess using the alias
 file, but the --exclude-path command line option seems to work.
 I executed the following :
 drush -v --exclude-paths=".htaccess:robots.txt" rsync
 @lb.workstation @lb.hostmonster

 where '-v' gives me a look at what rsync is actually doing,
 and '--exclude-path' provides a string of file names delimited by 
 ':' (colon) which should be ignored by drush.

 But drush is still changing permissions to 750 on the root
 directory on the remote server. This disables the site until I
 reset the permissions to 755.
